The first pass implementation of NZFS's IO system is now complete.I have also completed the RAID engines. Some were ported and adapted from FlexRAID's RAID-F, and others were built from scratch.There is an advanced layer that still needs to be implemented, but I will get back to it later after testing the basic concepts.

Next step: OS integration (platform specific stuffs - after this, I will have a real storage pool to play and test with).

read the post and very interesting have never considered what goes on at that level, so all i can say is good luck and may you have bug free days forward...

I am not sure I really wanted to know what I know now about kernel development as I prefer to stay high level.Heck, I even tried paying someone else to do it for me.Anyway, I rolled up my sleeves and got it done.

So how's this coming along? Has progress stalled due to the demands of FlexRAID going commercial?I'm very interested in seeing where this heads since ZFS is a no go for me for several very important reasons.
